Managing Radio-Based Network Infrastructure Using Unmanned Vehicles

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing device is further configured to at least instruct the unmanned vehicle to retrieve the radio unit as the payload.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing device is further configured to at least activate the radio unit to add coverage to a radio-based network.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing device is further configured to at least determine the location based at least in part on a coverage gap of a radio-based network.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the unmanned vehicle comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing device is further configured to at least identify the unmanned vehicle from a plurality of unmanned vehicles further based at least in part on at least one of: a proximity of the unmanned vehicle to the location, a remaining amount of fuel of the unmanned vehicle, an altitude of the unmanned vehicle, an output power of the radio unit, or one or more connectivity requirements for a radio-based network.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing device is further configured to at least instruct the unmanned vehicle to travel to the location and exchange the radio unit with a replacement radio unit.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing device is further configured to at least determine to add the radio unit to a radio-based network based at least in part on a coverage of the radio-based network not meeting a quality-of-service (QoS) parameter.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9, further comprising instructing the unmanned vehicle to retrieve the radio unit as a payload.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 9, further comprising activating the radio unit at the location to add the coverage to the radio-based network.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 9, further comprising determining the location based at least in part on a remaining amount of fuel of the unmanned vehicle.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 9, further comprising instructing the unmanned vehicle to travel to the location and recharge a battery of the radio unit.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 9, further comprising instructing the unmanned vehicle to travel to the location and exchange a battery of the radio unit with a replacement battery.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, wherein the radio unit has been deactivated from a radio-based network.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, further comprising instructing the unmanned vehicle to deliver the radio unit to another location.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, further comprising instructing the unmanned vehicle to deliver a different radio unit to the location.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, wherein the port is a network port or a power transfer port.

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, further comprising configuring the unmanned vehicle to connect to a power supply port at the location to recharge a battery of the unmanned vehicle.
